Five Senses

– May 5, 2017 – 

When is a good time to talk to God? All the time! Not just when things go wrong. God has given us everything that our 5 senses can sense, plus our memory and our ability to talk with Him. He hears us!

Why did I include our memory, because He gives us that specifically to carry out His plan of “Love one another as we love ourselves (Matthew 22:39).” This is the essence of forgiveness. We know we have forgiven those who wronged us when a memory comes up and doesn’t incite an emotion. We don’t have to like that person ever again, but when we forgive them, we release that anchor in our life, and we’re able to move on to what God has in store for us.

Many times the one we need to forgive is ourselves. Let it go! Peter tells us, “…not to return evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving blessing instead; for we were called for the very purpose that we might inherit a blessing (1 Peter 3:9).” We are all children of God, created in harmony and with love.

Peace and blessings to you.
